Max Scherzer (39, New York Mets), who still boasted excellent results even at the age ahead of the bullshit. However, Scherzer’s pitch seems quite off.
The New York Mets had a 2023 home game against the San Diego Padres at Citi Field in New York, New York, USA on the 11th (Korean time).
On this day, the New York Mets won 5-0 thanks to Scherzer’s 5 innings, 1 hit, no runs, and 6 strikeouts. In particular, Scherzer’s five consecutive scoreless innings shone.
However, Scherzer’s best four-seam fastball speed that day was only 95.5 mph. Scherzer is a pitcher with a velocity of 100 mph. 메이저놀이터
But this season, his average velocity has decreased by more than half a mile. It means that you can no longer pitch powerful pitches on the mound.
In other words, although Scherzer recorded 5 innings, 1 hit and no run against the San Diego lineup that day, this is why he cannot be greatly satisfied.
Scherzer’s main weapon is a fastball that can reach up to 100 mph. It is also to wrinkle the major league mound through the slider, changeup, and curveball.
Scherzer was born in 1984 and turns 39 this year. Attention is focusing on whether Scherzer can overcome these weaknesses and once again raise his name to the top of the pitching index.
